Read MoreAuthors: Gerald P. Rosen, M.D. et al Anesthesiology 11 2018, Vol.129, 1049-1050. To the Editor: As anesthesiologists, it is encouraging that recent attention has been paid to airway management improvements in and out of the operating suites. Our goals of positive patient safety outcomes have led to many recent airway management publications. The most recent of […]

Read MoreIntubation is a standard part of airway management in the O.R., ICU and other settings. At some point, every intubation will be followed by an extubation. But what if the extubation has complications? Few anesthesiologists think about strategies for reintubation until problems have already begun to escalate. “Extubation has percolated into most airway guidelines at […]
